The Iconoclast

Alright, alright: aside from being difficult to concentrate, the city of the future will be absolutely mundane. I will wake in the morning without an alarm clock, wrap up in a bathrobe and stumble into the kitchen to feel the warmth of the sun through the window and the smell of the coffee some early-riser has made. I will put two slices of buttered bread into the micro-oven and gently press the static-sensitive "on" button. I will heat up my tea water in some new tea-water-heater gadget. I will quickly urinate in the toilet in the bathroom while I wait for my breakfast. Then, while sitting at the dining room table, I will eat my toast and drink my tea (with milk and sugar) while staring out the window, watching the sun slowly rise over the city making the buildings sparkle in its light.

I will probably be late to work, again. But it will be a beautiful morning.
